Coffee in hand, two fishing rods, bucket of fresh worms, and a small pond filled with fish—what more could a fisherman want early in the morning? 
Raymond caught at least a dozen bream (or blue gill, as I’ve been informed). He was heading home to provide a fish cookout for friends this evening. Thank you for thinning out the lake fish from our pond! 12 down, over 100 to go.
Our gardener, Pat, tells us that he’s actually seen a bass, at least 16 inches long, in the pond. Who knew???
So, you’re welcome to bring your rod and reel, and fish the lazy way at Lookout Point. Catch & release (into Lake Hamilton) OR take ‘em home. When Ray & I created a luxury inn with lots of amenities, we did not know just how many amenities Lookout Point Lakeside Inn would actually include! Ha…

A unique departure from a beautiful wedding at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn! Stacey & Marshall brought their jet ski, and his sister created a lovely “Just Married” sign for the back of the jet ski. Their wedding clothes remained dry!
Congratulations and best wishes to Marshall and Stacey on your marriage!

Each day for the past few weeks, Mama Duck and her ducklings arrive at the inn for breakfast and dinner, feeding under the bird feeders. Often during breakfast service, our guests enjoy the show as the Mama leads her brood up the property to the bird feeders. After a fine feast, the little family moves on to the pond and waterfalls where they swim, drink, and sometimes nap on the rocks. We’ve enjoyed watching this family grow from such tiny ducklings!
- Welcome to Lookout Point Lakeside Inn!
Although the mama is camera shy, the ducklings have been photographed by many guests. Our “resident” ducks, Lucy, Ricky and Fred (who claim Lookout Point Lakeside Inn as their home every spring-fall) have not produced any offspring this year to date. However during a recent outdoor wedding in the gardens, the trio came to the wedding and decided to attempt the mating process about 15 feet away from the bride & groom. The 3rd duck, sqwuacked so loudly that we needed to pause the wedding and simply laugh. One guest proclaimed the duck scene to be “a good omen for your marriage”.

The warm weather is finally here and summer is just around the corner. Summer is a time for fun in the sun, but before summer, there’s Memorial Day. Memorial Day weekend is quickly approaching. As most of us know,
w, Memorial Day, formerly known as Decoration Day, is a time to honor U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. Many families go to cemeteries and decorate their loved ones graves. Even though this special holiday is a serious one, it is also a time for fun. In Hot Springs, this day is celebrated with a fireworks display on Lake Hamilton. This spectacular display will be held from the PowerBoats location on Anthony Island at the south end of the Highway 7 causeway. Come join us for this wonderful event and help honor those who have fought and died for our country.
You can watch this beautiful display of colorful fireworks from our luxury inn. If you would like to book a room call us at 501-525-6155 or visit our website!

From the Dallas Morning News, April 17, 2009: 18 Romantic Getaways in Texas and Neighboring States. Special Contributor Judy Wiley writes “Exotic honeymoon choices looked good about a year ago. And then, as if brides-to-be didn’t have enough to worry about, the economic crisis slammed into their wedding budgets.” Cutting back on the dress, the wedding site, and the rings isn’t likely to happen. So Wiley suggests great honeymoon destinations in Texas and the surrounding states.
Lookout Point Lakeside Inn is featured from Arkansas, and we’re honored! Called a hot spot, and “mighty pretty”, Lookout Point offers several honeymoon packages and wedding packages. Our rooms fill up quickly in the summertime, so if you’re seeking the perfect romantic and private honeymoon site, call the inn (501-525-6155) soon.

- Visiting the PAII trade show, Atlanta
Ray & I are attending a terrific innkeepers conference–the annual meeting of the best minds in the innkeeping industry at the Professional Association of Innkeepers International Conference, held this year in Atlanta. Oh my gosh, my head is spinning with the terrific, cutting edge ideas that I’ve learned, particulary in the technology field. Hmmm…. link the blog with my Facebook page and Twitter, plus upload area videos on 40plus sites. When I entered this beloved profession of innkeeping, I had NO CONCEPT of the need to become techno savvy! Yet I’m learning, and will continue to learn. While still seeking to serve great breakfasts and the finest in care and hospitality to our wonderful guests.
A very fun aspect of the PAII conference is the trade show. Peter Deneen (0ur potter), featured in the photo, has created some great new colors of mugs that we ordered. What other trade show can you tweak your online presence, order vacuum cleaners, taste waffles, and touch wonderful high thread count sheets? Of course, when we attend these exciting conferences, we return to Lookout Point Lakeside Inn with about 50 action plans to implement. We learn so much from fellow innkeepers. Yet we also learn lots of tips and ideas from our guests. If you have creative ideas for your favorite
innkeepers, we’d love to see your comments.
We look forward to our return to the inn on Saturday, and especially give thanks to our wonderful staff (especially Tricia, Warren, & Susan) for taking great care of the inn and guests in our absence.
